Registration Priority and Procedures

All students will be assigned a Registration Priority based on their academic record. Refer to the Fall/Winter Sessions Course Registration and Planning Guide for further information. Students will not be permitted to register earlier than the date specified.

Registration instructions and a schedule of classes will be made available to students prior to the beginning of registration. On or after their registration date, students can register using the 'Student Centre' via MyUofC. Students should choose courses for both Fall and Winter Sessions at the same time. Students may print their Timetable and Statement of Fees from the'Student Centre' via MyUofC after they have registered.

Newly admitted students entering year one of a degree program will be mailed the necessary registration materials at the time of admission. Students are strongly encouraged to seek advice on course selection from the Student Advisors in their faculty. This should be done as early as possible.

Students are advised to register for courses as soon as they are eligible to ensure the best selection. Those admitted after registration begins are required to register within three weeks of the issuance of their notification of admission. Faculties reserve the right to rescind the offer of admission if course registration has not taken place within this time frame.

Open Studies students with prior approval are able to register (add, drop and change courses) using the 'Student Centre' via MyUofC. Students not taking advantage of the prior approval procedure will register for courses at the U of C Service Stop.

Registration will begin for Open Studies students (degree and non-degree holding) on August 15 for remaining spaces in all courses, except those courses which have been indicated by faculties and/or departments as being closed to such students.

Open Studies degree holders, at the time of initial application, must provide a transcript indicating courses completed and the degree awarded.

Visiting students are not eligible to register via 'Student Centre' via MyUofC and may obtain a combined application/registration form at the U of C Service Stop or at http://www.ucalgary.ca/currentstudents/servicestop/.

Visiting students will be permitted to register in Fall/Winter Session courses starting on August 1.

At the time of registration, Visiting students must provide a written letter of approval from the home institution which gives the student permission to complete courses at the University of Calgary. The letter must indicate the number of courses as well as the session/year in which courses can be completed. It is also recommended that the letter indicate specific courses for the protection of the student.

Exchange students are not eligible to register via 'Student Centre' via MyUofC and must register on a combined application/registration form through the Exchange Coordinator at their home university. Exchange students will be permitted to register in Fall/Winter Session courses starting on June 4.
